Thanks to the incredible systems created by engineers in the food industry, it can take as little as 20 minutes for a potato that has just arrived at a manufacturing plant to become a bag of crisps. The potatoes are simply washed, peeled, fried and seasoned before being popped in a bag!
This is why some of the world’s most famous food and drink manufacturing companies are supporting the MEng Food Engineering degree at Sheffield Hallam University.
During the course every student will get three guaranteed competitively paid industrial placements with a range of top food and drink companies.
Just imagine… you could be working with Kit Kats, Lurpak butter, Warburtons loaves or New York Bakery Co. bagels. These are just some of the many great brands supporting the course.
The course also offers
- guest lectures from top food industry engineers
- access to cutting-edge equipment
- exposure to new technologies and the latest developments
- qualification to Masters level in just 4 years
